Leadership consulting
Kindred
A mark people already recognised, redrawn and given a system to live in.
The brief
Leadership consulting
Brand identity, Logo redesign, Brand guidelines
Kindred Organizational Consulting had spent years helping organisations grow healthier from the inside, and had the recognition to show for it. Its logo no longer matched the work. A full rebrand would have cost that recognition, and leaving the mark alone would have kept holding the firm back, so we kept the essence of the original and rebuilt everything around it.
